T0 ALL WHOM "IT MAY lCONCERN:

Be it known that I, ISAAC W. HENDERSON, of Leavenworth, in the'county of Leavenworth, and State of i Kansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Holders for Pens; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specication.

The presentinvention relatesto aholder for pens more particularly intended to be used for the fancy rulingof paper andother sheet material in the. manufacture of blank books.. This holderis constructed in such a manner that the several pens which it carries can be adjusted to any required distance apart, and the centre pen to rule a line that will be parallel to and equidistant from each of the outside lines, ruled by a vdouble or two single pens, suitably inserted in the pen-bolder therefor.

In the accompanying plate of drawings, my improvements in holders for pens are illustrated.

Figure 1 is a side view of the holder, with the ends thereof carrying the pens, in rpartial. longitudinal section; and l Figure 2 a transverse section, taken in the plane of the line zum, g. 1.

A, in the drawings, represents -my improved holder for pens. This holder consists of two arms, and C, formed and constructed, las well as connected and arranged together, in a manner to be now described.

The arm B, from end to end, is bent or curved, as shown in fig. 1 more particularly, and at one of its ends, D, has. inserted in the socket E, suitably made therefor, a double pen, F, or, in other words, apen with two marking-arms or points, wherein such pen is .secured by means'of a set-screw, G. The other arm, C, is located above the-arm B, and a short distance therefrom; and to its upright piece G it is hung by a hinge, H, that, in oonstrction, is such that the arm C can be slid thereon, either forward or backward, within a certain limit, and at any point, by means of a. setvscrew, I. This arm() also carries 'a pen, J, at its outer end, K, which pen, in the present instance, is single, and is 'secured therein by a; set-screw, L, as described for the double pon to the arm B. t

. The pens F and J extend outward from their respective arms in the same direction with the single penmat its marking-point, between the `two marking-points of the double' pen, where, by means of a thumb or milled screw, M, it can be adjusted, this thumb-screw screwing through the arm B, and actingagainst the arm C above, and thereby regulating the distance between the two. I

The holderl above described has been before stated to be used and more especially designed for the ruling of paper sheets for blank books; but it is plainly manifest that it can be used for other purposes, and is, in usc,

to be fastened to the machine in proper position by means of a thumb or set-screw, or otherwise.

As the pens are secured on the arms by means of setscrews, it is plainly'apparent they can, whenbroken, be removed, `and n'ew ones inserted or substituted for them.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Batent-- v 1. A holder for pens, consisting of the two arms B and C, hinged together, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2; The set-screwI, `in combination with the above, substantially as and for the purposespectied.v

3. The combination of the arms B and Cfeaeh adapted to receive a pen or pens, and set-screws G L, subisAAo w. HENDERSON.
